Seems like there’s a pretty sizeable elephant in the room with these warnings.. and it’s not the cartels in Mexico
I’m gonna stay in my nice cozy home.
It is interesting that Denmark is ‚high degree of caution‘, while Rwanda is ’normal security precautions‘.
> The U.K. advisory says “terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Canada”
Uhhhh….what?
Sorry, Tulum for week to escape this frozen hellscape is worth it. Don’t be an idiot when travelling abroad and you’re usually fine.
Don’t do shady shit in Mexico and you won’t have issues. It’s not that hard of a concept to understand…
It is good that Global Affairs publishes these advisories but they seem to err on the side of caution a bit too much.
Countries like France, Denmark and UK are on the Exercise High Degree of Caution level due to the threat of terrorism.
These countries are generally considered safe and there hasn’t been terrorist incidents for quite some time.
Does the federal government know something we don’t know? Or is it over reacting?
I’m off to Oaxaca, Mexico next month. This will be our 5th year and have always felt safe and have never witnessed any violent crime. Sure there are some activities that I wouldn’t do that I do back home. Like drink tap water but otherwise we pretty much lead a normal life down there.
I worked with a young woman from Mexico over the summer and I asked her what she liked best about Canada and she said, „How safe it is.“ She wasn’t from the Yucatan peninsula, which is where most tourists end up though. She said most of Mexico is reasonably unsafe and she was much happier taking public transit here and never felt at risk.
Respect the locals, don’t walk around drunk at 1am, avoid shady places, don’t flash high value items, keep your belongings close in crowded places. etc.etc.
As someone who just moved from Canada to France… I’m feeling pretty safe. The hilarious part is that Canada lists the US as green (take normal precautions).
To be honest, after 2019, world has gone to shizz. Hence, the advisories for most of the countries.
Some have too much theft, stealing, harassing tourists.
Some have terrorism threats etc.
